Blessed by the sunshine and rain of autumn, the branches are full of abundant and sweet fruits, symbolizing the culmination of life. The persimmon, with its plump and golden-red appearance, displays a radiant and translucent quality that represents the gathering of energy from the sunlight. Its simple geometric cross-shaped stem also signifies the essence of life gathered from all corners of the universe, manifesting as a fruitful achievement. The stem's polished top surface highlights the beauty of its rippled texture and bubbles, representing vitality. This fruit's plump and round shape resembles the auspicious symbol of a "ruyi," while the four symmetrical bat coin reliefs on its sides signify continuous blessings and prosperity. With its homophonic association to the word for "affairs," the persimmon also embodies the wish for everything to go smoothly and "as one wishes." Truly a magnificent and meaningful fruit!
